Description
No 4 Townhouse is a charming pet-friendly townhouse resting in the heart of Bishop Auckland, Durham.
Suited to two couples, a small family or friends, this abode boasts private parking, an enclosed yard and proximity to amenities.
Pull up and park before stepping inside, where the entrance hallway immediately introduces the home’s character, 19th‑century floor tiles running underfoot as coats are hung and bags are set down.
The sense of a Victorian townhouse is clear from the outset, offering a glimpse into the style of late‑nineteenth‑century town living.
From the hallway, move through to the living/dining room, a space arranged for both gathering and unwinding.
Warm hues frame the room, while the bay window draws in daylight, making it an easy place to settle at any time of day.
Sofas provide a natural spot to stretch out after walks through town, while the dining table sits close by, allowing meals and conversation to flow easily into the evening.
The electric fire offers added warmth during cooler months, making the room well-suited to lingering over dinner or settling in for a quiet night indoors.
To the rear of the property, the kitchen is laid out for everyday self‑catering, with a practical flow that supports slow mornings and relaxed evenings alike.
Set the kettle on, make use of the oven and hob for home‑cooked meals.
A door leads directly into the enclosed rear yard, making it easy to step out with muddy boots after riverside walks or to give the dog some fresh air before returning indoors.
Upstairs, the bedrooms provide two distinct but equally inviting retreats.
The first king-size bedroom is finished in green tones and includes a sofa, offering a quiet place to read or ease into the evening before bed.
The second king-size bedroom brings contrast through pink walls and a pair of armchairs, creating a space suited to slow mornings or moments spent unwinding at the end of the day.
The bathroom is fitted with a bath and shower over, basin and WC, allowing you to rinse off after a long walk or sink into a warm soak before turning in for the night.
Set on a quiet road within easy reach of local shops and pubs, with the river close by for gentle walks and the heritage attractions surrounding Auckland Palace just a short walk away.
No 4 Townhouse brings together period character and a central Bishop Auckland setting.

What guests are saying
The house was lovely, cosy and clean, with a lovely touch in the form of a dog welcome pack.
The bed and sofa were very comfortable. However, the TV was in the wrong position, making it difficult to watch from the sofa. Sadly, the map showed the wrong location for the house, and parking was poorly organised. We provided our registration number a couple of weeks before arrival, but it had not been logged. It took another phone call and several conversations with security before the issue was resolved. The property description should make it clearer that parking is not located directly by the house. The cooker could do with an upgrade as it is quite old, and some matching cutlery would also be a welcome addition.
No 4 Townhouse is a recreation of a townhouse from the 1950's.
As such it is an accurate recreation. Whilst the property is reasonably comfortable, we were disappointed with the quality of the fittings particularly in the kitchen (e.g. very cheap plastic kettle and toaster) and in the bathroom where the shower is very poor quality and broken. In our opinion the property did not provide value for money given the very high cost per night for the location. Finally, instructions regarding parking were unclear and support not provided in time so we ended up paying for parking when it should have been free. Given the cost of the stay, we felt further improvements would be needed before we could recommend the property to others.
